Dave Audé

<a href="spotify:artist:1vWImodgVqIgTUkekGEfR9" data-name="Dave Audé">Dave Audé</a> is definitely one of those easy-going yet eccentric types. It is this unconventional combo that brings such presence and personality to his music and has brought him acclaim from both his fans and his contemporaries. There’s no pretentiousness or slickness to Audé. He’ll tell you straight up “it’s about the music, it always is.” It is this philosophy that earned him a Grammy in 2016 for <a href="spotify:artist:3hv9jJF3adDNsBSIQDqcjp" data-name="Mark Ronson">Mark Ronson</a> ft <a href="spotify:artist:0du5cEVh5yTK9QJze8zA0C" data-name="Bruno Mars">Bruno Mars</a> “Uptown Funk”. Dave also has more than 130 #1 Billboard successes and five IMDA nominations.


Since he first emerged as a producer/remixer/DJ, Audé has run up an astonishing roster of Billboard Dance hits—both under his own name and in service of other artists, including <a href="spotify:artist:6vWDO969PvNqNYHIOW5v0m" data-name="Beyoncé">Beyoncé</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6jJ0s89eD6GaHleKKya26X" data-name="Katy Perry">Katy Perry</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5pKCCKE2ajJHZ9KAiaK11H" data-name="Rihanna">Rihanna</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1HY2Jd0NmPuamShAr6KMms" data-name="Lady Gaga">Lady Gaga</a>, Demi Lovato, <a href="spotify:artist:5y2Xq6xcjJb2jVM54GHK3t" data-name="John Legend">John Legend</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0C8ZW7ezQVs4URX5aX7Kqx" data-name="Selena Gomez">Selena Gomez</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7bXgB6jMjp9ATFy66eO08Z" data-name="Chris Brown">Chris Brown</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3RNrq3jvMZxD9ZyoOZbQOD" data-name="Korn">Korn</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5Pwc4xIPtQLFEnJriah9YJ" data-name="OneRepublic">OneRepublic</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4gzpq5DPGxSnKTe4SA8HAU" data-name="Coldplay">Coldplay</a>.


For everything Audé’s achieved, he remains pretty grounded. It is abundantly apparent that he’s more about the music than he is about living the high-flying, drama-filled life of a ‘rock star’. “I give everything I’ve got when working on a project,” he states. “I find that I am more at home in the studio.”


As his success continues to build, it’s Audé’s music that does the talking. His trajectory may be a little non-traditional, but Audé wears it like a glove.
